However, Taylor is not on trial for what you have listed. Besides, you have not proven none of the things you said this innocent man did. On top of that, you are not more Liberian, if you are even a Liberian than other Liberians. More importantly, knowing what we knew, we voted for him in mass droves in the 1997 election as our president. However, knowing what we know now, we will still vote for him. By any chance, do you remember that political slogan during the 1997 election? "you kill my ma, you kill ma pa, I will vote for you. Yes Togba, we will still sing that song and even more, if he is allowed to run in this coming election. Too bad for you bro. Togba,

And as far as the facts and evifeces are concerned, the prosecution failed to prove beyond all reasonable doubts that this innocent man did what they say he did. As the result, Taylor will be set freed. Lotson,

This is being volleyed btw the executive and legislative branch. It will not hold unless the Liberian people demand it. Again, if you think these guys need to be prosecuted, then call for it. Don't just sit there, do something. Sawyer is in Liberia and so is the so-called, Progressive group. Jose,

Is a form of talking to each other. Either you are not listening or reading. These are all forms of communication. However, technological advances have made it possible to talk to someone from afar. Concerning the implementation of the TRC report, you and I have a unity of purpose. We both agree that it should be implemented and now!!! Why the president has not acted in a way of respecting this document by first adhering to the 30 years ban imposed on her? Why is she referring it back to the Liberian people to decide? When it came to President Taylor extradition, she did not say the Liberian people will decide. Instead, She unilaterally took that decision. Whether for good or bad reason, the Liberian through their Parliament did not sign on that decision. Bnker, you are absolutely right, when you said, the notorious rebel leader of Black Beret turned Defense Minister name is not on the TRC list. You are also right, when you said, Ellen is not named for prosecution by the TRC. However, the time will come, that Ellen will face justice. Mark my word. Not only Ellen alone, but also, Dr. Sawyer, Dr. Fahnbullah, Brownie Samukai, and all those trigger happy warmongers. Bnker,

You see excited, and chanting about taylor being innocent. is the case over? One thing you have to realize is that the prosecutions case was more harder to prove. Record keeping in Africa is not as good as it is in the west, this made it difficult for them to find records to use as evidence. The little they had were rejected. So don't use that word innocent so loosely, if that was your mother or sister being raped or amputated during the war you won't be using that word. But they did the best with what they had. As of that question about the ampution, Blah testified that Sankoh complained to Taylor that his liberian boys were doing it and taylor's responded by saying that it's war and such things happen during war. We have this saying in sierra leone that human blood is very very powerful and that once you get it on your hands, it will work against it won't be good for you, and taylor has the blood of the sierra leoneans on his hand, so their deaths are not going to go in vain, and that's a guarantee, i want you to remember this when it's all said and done. If he gets acquited here (which i doubt), Liberia is waiting and Sierra leoneans will still rejoice over that. See a lot of us are pleased at the fact that he was made to stand trial whether he goes free, meaning he was made to answer to some questions, and he spent a couple of years in prison already. So keep rejoicing and calling him God, or saint or whatever. It's not over till the fat lady sings bra. don’t take off your pants until you see the woman.

You know the question, where I stand with this trial, you seem as though you want CT guilty, why don't you just say so, you are having your internal struggles with coming out with your position, tell me where you stand on this trial, come clean....and I politely answer them all the time, but never saw the need to suggest a hearing assistance, but since you've clarify that repeated question means possible a low ability to conceptualize or digest ideas, I gotcha...thanks! On the TRC report, if you think they should implement it before the trial is out, lets push for it. I am in favor. I personally think it should be implemented immediately. Join me, lets move forward and get all our trouble makers their offices in Grand Gedeh. You talk about prosecution of Ellen, the report don't recommend that, so that means you don't like the report in its current form? Jose

If the judges final judgement is for taylor to go down, your thoughts won't be consider. That's why I always say that the judges are not looking at how much taylor denied but how logical are the evidences of the prosecutors. So while you're there cheering because Taylor didn't agree, you'll just be outside of what is going on. I don't think anyone will even expect taylor to agree to the prosecutors claims that's why he plead himself not guity on the first day of the trial.

HOWEVER, IT SHOULD NOT BE AFTER PRESIDENT TAYLOR IS ACQUITTED IN THIS FAKE TRIAL. AND CERTAINLY, NOT AFTER ELLEN IMMINENT DEFEAT IN 2011, WHERE SHE WILL RUN AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY AND THE LIBERIA PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO PROSECUTE HER. Bnker,
